Professor Weninger is one of Australia’s preeminent clinician scientists working in the fields of dermatology and immunology. He is internationally recognised for discovering several unique immune cell subsets and determining their function in the context of immune-mediated pathology, especially as they relate to skin diseases. He has pioneered the development and use of intravital imaging models for the study of leukocytes at the cellular and molecular level in their physiologic environment. His work has resulted in a new understanding of immunoregulatory pathways in cutaneous inflammatory conditions, infections and cancers.
